Hexi

Chapter 207

The Su family passed on lock art to the family. It turned out that the imperial examination was only for the sake of an extra way out, so the children who were not talented in the lock art were forced to study, and the children who were not good at school had to study the skills passed down from their ancestors no matter what. come out.But when it came to the old man of the Su family, that is, the generation of Su Shou's father, he had no potential for reading and ancestral skills.

The old man of the Su family is an upright, honest, and highly respected person. He has no choice but to be ordinary. He can only try his best to guard the family but cannot carry it forward.When Su Shou took over, Tiangongfang had actually stagnated, but he was better than the old man, because he was relatively smooth in the officialdom.

Of course, these were sorted out by Su Luo in her previous life and later.

Based on this situation, the Su family should not, and has no conditions, to get involved in things like Chaoshang.

What Su Shou himself showed was this kind of wise and self-protective attitude. Why did he get involved with the person who shouldn't be involved with it?
Aji's father, Xue Rong's students, were implicated, but Su Shou was safe and sound. Did he pretend too well?

"Girl, what should I do now? Do you want to tell the second master?" Aji followed her step by step.

Su Luo stopped in front of the window, just about to speak, but her fingertips touched another piece of paper.

——Yes, there is also Mammy Bao!

She quickly pulled out this piece of paper and unfolded it. There were only a few distorted words on the paper. Madam Bao had never read a book, but she was fluent in writing and ink after following Mrs. Xie for a long time. There were four small figures drawn on the paper. There are men and women, one of whom has a beard, the woman wears a woman's bun, and the other two are dressed as children.

"If I understand correctly, Madam Bao's painting is me and brother Qi, as well as my father and wife." Su Wei looked at the paper and said, "She wrote three words, which are peace, integrity, and success. .So, who is she reporting on our family?"

Aji said, "Who is that?"

Su Wei put the paper away: "Go and tell Brother Qi to keep an eye on the ancestral hall for me from now on. No matter who goes in there, come and report to me. Also," she looked at here Xiang Aji put his palm on one of her shoulders, "The name on the burnt paper is very important, you have to promise not to reveal a word to anyone other than you and me, including Su Qi."

Aji nodded slowly, deeply and solemnly.

Su Wei withdrew her hand, and said with a deep breath: "You are the victim of Xue Rong's case. Now it seems that I will become the victim too. But you did a good job. Go and get Bao Nanny Just keep an eye on her, she still has someone to support her in Su's house, but we don't know which side they come from. From now on, don't take chances on anyone. "

"I'm going right now."

Aji hurried out and closed the door.

Mu Jin entered the door: "Girl, you have to go to the main courtyard for such a big happy event at home? Otherwise, it will make people suspicious."

Su Luo nodded, turned her head to look at herself in the glasses, and stood up. "Let's go."

Why doesn't she know this layer?
But I was too shocked before, so I really didn't care.Not to mention the title of Zanzhi Yin of the third grade, even the title of Zhu Kingdom, she would not be able to go there at that time.

It was only when she walked out of the threshold that she remembered: "Why was the honor suddenly awarded?"

Mu Jin looked at her and stopped: "I heard that some locks in the yamen of the Chinese military governor's mansion need to be replaced, and the emperor assigned them to the master. Then I remembered that he had been an official for many years and hadn't been awarded an honor yet. , and made a decree."

Su Luo was surprised by this rhetoric: "Just because you changed a few locks, you were awarded the honor?"

Mu Jin said, "At least that's what they said in the front yard."

Su Wei can't believe this, no matter how good the Su family is in front of the royal family, the emperor is not so generous, right?Besides, the face of the Su family was only obtained in front of Taizu and Emperor Taizong, several generations later, the emperor was concerned about the affection of his ancestors, and the rewards during the festivals were already very face-saving.

Thinking of Su Shou's sad face in the ancestral hall, she quickened her pace: "Look!"

……

In the main courtyard, the women's relatives are on one side, and the men are on the other.

Su Yan happened to be on business abroad, and had rushed back from the yamen upon hearing the news.At this time, the study door was closed, and the two brothers were sitting opposite each other, speechless.

The censer on the coffee table rose into the air. Su Yan thought it was an eyesore, so he waved it away with his bare hands and said, "Could it be that the elder brother was worrying unnecessarily, and the result was not as serious as you thought?"

"Do you know what it means that the mechanism of the Defense Agency is changed by the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion?" Su Shou said in a deep voice, "It means that the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion will seize power with the Ministry of War. If this mechanism is changed, That is to say, the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army under the leadership of Zhen Guogong took the power to mobilize the troops and horses of the battalion from the Ministry of War! What was in the warehouse? It was 3 sets of armor and weapons! [-] horses, It's enough to hold our own troops in Gyeonggi."

Su Yan was speechless.

Su Shou took a deep breath, and said again: "The Su family has done this for the Chinese army's governor's office, then the Ministry of War will definitely sue me for overstepping my authority, because they can't sue the emperor, and they can't sue Zhen Guogong, and they may not be able to. If they can be entangled, then they can only use our Su family as cannon fodder. The reason why they don't agree is because I know that in the end, the Su family will most likely be the target."

Su Yan couldn't help but said: "Then our Su family is also following orders, why are we afraid that their military department will make things difficult? The Su family is so easy to bully, that's why everyone can be bullied!"

He actually wanted to say that Su Shou was too weak, but he dared not say so.

Su Shou stared at him for a long time and said, "Have you forgotten the teachings of your father before he died? Kindness makes money, and you should never be hostile to others. It's only been a few years, and you've forgotten it all?!"

Su Yan didn't dare to bear the word "unfilial", so he kept silent.

Su Shou got up, looked at the word "benevolence and righteousness" on the wall in front of him, and said word by word: "To be a human being is not only a way of living in the world, but there are also some things that are more important than temporary grievances. If on the surface If you can maintain the word 'benevolence and righteousness' by swallowing your anger, then even if you are scolded as useless, it is worth it."

Su Yan raised his head in a daze: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Su Shou turned around and said, "Don't forget how the Su family's ancestral business came about. Without the emperor Taizu, the Su family's ancestral business was brilliant, but it was still a craftsman. All the glory of the Su family came from both the great-grandfather and the great-grandfather. Emperor Taizu, naturally our Su family must also be worthy of this kindness."

Su Yan was speechless for a moment.

He reflected that he hadn't said anything like disregarding the emperor's grace just now, but Su Shou's words sounded like he was accusing him of not being kind enough.

"Ah, Mrs. Lin is here, why are you listening? Come in and sit down!"

Huang's loud welcoming voice came from the partition wall, and the conversation in the room stopped because of this.

Su Yan stood up: "Since the eldest brother has taught you to remind us to remember the emperor's kindness, then on such a happy day, I will arrange two tables of wine and food, and let's have a family banquet tonight!"

　See you tomorrow.
